Postmenopausal Bleeding
Posted , 6 users are following.
My mum is 52, she recently started bleeding again after about 2 years and I managed to convince her to see a doctor. This was yesterday. Today the hospital rang informing her that the GP put her through as urgent and her appointment for a ultrasound and biopsy is tomorrow! She came in crying and panicking that maybe the doctor saw something and that's why everything is so rushed. At her appointment yesterday she was told to "prepare for all scenarios because it's the first sign of cancer" and now this and we are all terrified. I was wondering if anyone experienced anything like this? The urgency and being told to prepare for worst case.

This happened to my mum too, she went for all the tests including biopsies etc and all was ok. She was then put on HRT and felt great too!
Try to reassure her that her doctor will be covering all bases and many good doctors do the same.
Hope all goes well tomorrow.

That is horrible! It is not unusual at all that women have break through bleeding even after not having a period for a year or more. I personally know women who missed a year and suddenly had a heavy period. It does not mean it’s cancer. Please don’t assume the worst. Should she have tests done? Yes! For her own piece of mind. I have found hospitals to over dramatize things, that has happened to me. Got me all stressed out for nothing! Take care and I wish your mum the best!
